This might just be the fanciest Starbucks location we’ve ever worked on, and the good people of Indianapolis are lucky to have it.
Located near the heart of UI Health’s downtown campus, the light & airy design of this cozy coffeeshop provides busy healthcare workers and anxious families with a relaxing place to hang out and refuel.
We supplied this unique masonry rainscreen product made by S. Anselmo for the building’s exterior. Known as “SK1N,” the system consists of aluminum rails upon which these beautiful extruded terracotta tiles are hung. The architects loved the red-brown coffee-esque hues of the “PG” color, and specified mitered corners for a seamless look as the pieces wrapped around the building.
This 4th generation Italian manufacturer has been making traditional clay materials since 1903, but also continues to create innovative new products like this one! Offering many of the same low-maintenance, energy efficient benefits of a traditional brick wall, masonry rainscreens are a stylish, contemporary cladding option that allows substantial continuous insulation assemblies to be tucked out of sight underneath. The trend is making its way across the pond, and we couldn’t be more excited to see companies like Starbucks getting on board!
